Quick question: Would penalties from 16metres be easier?

I don't believe that any penalty is easy. There is always a certain amount of pressure on the taker to score.

Listen nocky you reckon its easier to score from closer in than further out well try this sometime. Stand 6" away from a dart board and try and hit the bull. Then stand 2" away and try and hit the same bull. Try this and see what happens then come back and tell me from which distance is it easier to hit the bull ?.

Yes, this proves you are right squid, because THROWING a DART from 6feet and KICKING a FOOTBALL from 11m are EXACTLY the same. I always suspected you were on the windup, now I am sure of it.

Nocky.

Jaysus Squid your reasoning us hilarious. How about this, try throw a ball into a bucket from 6 feet then try do it from 2 feet, which is easier?
